JMF non-jpeg video...

Im trying to create a .mov file (which I have done successfully by using the example provided by the JMF).
However the JPegs lose way to much image quality in the transition, so that my final movie looks kinda crappy.
What Ive been trying to do, is to find a way to create another type of image that can be used in a .mov movie file through JMF.
So what type of image do i need to create in order to be able to use it in a mov? What files does the JMF truly support that can have good quality...
Any ideas?

what O_o?

JPEG Video Format Problem

I have a problem handling tha images received from a IP camera,
this camera send 320x240 JPEG images, I have write my LiveStream
that handle the frams sended from camera.
When I start the player I receive the following messages:
From jmf.log I receive

I not understand why if the JPEG video format is supported, where is my mistake ?
Many thanks.

I've got 10.6.8 but have this exact same problem. Everything is grayed out. I suspected that maybe the MP4 files from my GoPro camera were corrupted, but then I went to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425 and downloaded "sample_mpeg4.mp4" and even that wouldn't import into iMovie or iPhoto. It's grayed out in iMovie and says the file format is invalid in iPhoto.
Any suggestions?

Satellite U300 connected to TV - Non supported video format

I am using Toshiba Satellite U300-15q and it has a vga output so i bought a cable and a box that transfers te analogue signal of vga to digital of hdmi so that i can connect it to my 32' TV Sony make.
But if i connect it it says on the tv in yellow letters non supported video format.
Why is that and how can i fix it ?

In the whole story problem is that you use third part hardware or software so this described issue has nothing to do with your Toshiba notebook or Toshiba in general.
On notebooks side is important that video signal is sent on proper way. What happen later and why this signal is not transformed correctly is matter of this box.
Which box do you use?
In my opinion you should contact manufacturer of this box and their support. They should know how it works and how to fix this.
Generally speaking, Toshiba has nothing to do with this problem.

Resizing Motion Jpeg video without applying any transcoding

Hello,
My apology if this is a silly question.
I have Motion Jpeg video clip, which I need only to resize from 1920x1080 to 768x432.
I want to leave codec, output fields and everything else as it is.
What would be the best way to do this?
Thank you so much for your advise.

I would recommend doing the resize through compressor as it should intelligently scale the image. Although downscaling isn't as drastic as going up, it still can cause problems. If your compression settings are kept high you should notice any more compression with most codecs, but I can understand your concern with JPEGs.
The other option is to convert to a codec such as animation which is uncompressed, down scaling within compressor. Then convert the animation back to a Motion JPEG. No quality will be lost.
The final option is to use QuickTime 7. open the file as usual in QT7 (has to be 7), press Command + J to access Movie Properties. Select the video track and choose and enter the scale in the boxes below. This will resize the video, just hit Command + S to save the file. This alters the display size only and the file will retain its 1920x1080 size information, thus the overall file size will not change.
Good luck.

Watching non HD videos purchased from iMac on Apple TV

Can I use non HD videos purchased on my iMac on my Apple TV? I have had problems viewing in the past.
HD videos take forever to download and watch on Apple TV.
I would like to purchase non HD videos on iMac in iTunes and watch on Apple TV.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.
There is no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.
This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.
So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:

Retina Display and streaming non HD video

Hi -
how does non HD video content look on the MBP-R in Full Screen mode?
Is its blury like the non optimized Apps or website content?
Is it even more blurry?
Reason why I am asking:
Watching series online on a regular screen pretty often looks ok but not great. Depending on the internet speed and the movie qualitity you can see the compression in the picture and so see the pixel. How does this look on the new retina display?
Has anyone of the early owner time and motivation to check and post a screenshot?
(like streaming from hulu, youtube or iwatchnetw....)
Thanks

it looks great, but once your eyes have got used to the retina-quality desktop, 1080p would just looks "so-so"

Trying to install Bootcamp 4 with non Apple video Card

Hi folks
So I had to buy a new video card (ATI HD 5850 1 GB DDR5) but of course, I lost acces to the boot screen, so I'm wondering how to install Bootcamp, since I don't have acces to the boot screen. In some point of the Bootcamp installation, the Mac re-boots but it freezes or something like that, so I have to turn it off.
For the other hand, I have the original nVidia 8800 GT which came with the Mac Pro, but's fried and it only works on safe mode. So I'm wondering if it's possible to install Bootcamp by using the 8800 GT in safe mode.
After failing on the Bootcamp installation, I have seen that the OSX already created a Bootcamp partition but in FAT 32 and we know it's neede din NTFS or such. So I was wondering if there is a way to sort this out somehow.
I also have another Bootcamp with Win7 in other hard disk, but quite small, so now I have an empty disk of 300GB, I would like to put all the windows stuff there.
So:
1. It seems I cannot use the new video card because of the boot.
2. It seems I cannot use the old video card because it's fried.
3. The Bootcamp partition is already there but in FAT 32.
Any ideas?
Meanwhile, I'm going to try some kind of "ideas".
Thanks in advance!
Ø3

Then I google it and I found my thread... Mmmhhh... :/ Anyway, somehow, when Mac boots in order to perform the Win7 installation, after the Apple' chime, a BIG and BLACK pixellated apple apears on a super white background. While it stays, the disk is scratching the surface, then appears an icon of a Folder with an ? on it, The again, the big apple and the scratch, then a Ø symbol ^^ and again, the  with the scratching sound and loops all the time there... I think it's because the non apple video card. But how can be possible... Installation is just, you know, a pair of graphics going there, not OpenGL stuff! xD

Non-Itunes Videos

as a hobby i make movies at home and at school. most are saved as windows media files and i was wondering if there is anyway that i could but them (or any other non-itunes videos) onto my ipod. i tried just importing then like they were songs hoping they would convert but it wont work. im guessing this is more complicated... thanks for any help

BLD, you require a program to convert your files to meet the IPOD's specs for playing video, which are:
IPod can play the following video formats:
H.264 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
MPEG-4 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
Go here and try their Trial version and ses if it works. It handles all my WMV, AVI and MPEG 1/2 files perfectly.

Is it possible to embedd other Non YouTube videos on iWeb sites?

You know how there's a YouTube Widget that lets you easily embed YouTube videos on iWeb sites? I imagine this Widget doesn't work for none YouTube videos (e.g. MetCafe), so how do we embed those on our web site pages?

Use an HTML Snippet and an iFrame code.....

There are two versions of the same movie on this test page. One uses the Vimeo code and the other uses an iFrame code with the URL to the Video.

How to link to a non-youtube video

I'm having great difficulty linking to a video....a Non-youtube video. I have a video on another platform that has html embed codes, but they don't seem to be working in Acrobat. Does Adobe not allow linking to non-youtube videos? What are the parameters acrobat needs in order to display a non-youtube linked video?
btw: I know I can embed the video in the doc, but that is not what I need. I want to link to the video from a location on the internet (CDN).

If you are linking to a video, why would the format matter? You're linking to a video player elsewher. It would be using a flash player most likely.
As Steve says above, you should use the Video Tool to draw a rectangle on the page where you want the video to appear, and in the dialog window that opens, enter the fully-qualified URL into the "Browse" field. The URL must end in a valid extension type for video that can be played by Flash Player (such as .FLV or .MP4) and you should link to the video file itself rather than the web page of the player application. If you have a video on a dynamic URL so there isn't an extension at the end, you'll need to re-craft the URL to add one, for example by passing a dummy variable.
If for example there's a video in FLV format delivered from a url
http://www.notarealwebsite.web/player?video=1234
then to get the Add Video tool to accept it, you'll have to enter something like
http://www.notarealwebsite.web/player?video=1234&somevariable=.FLV

Can't import a JPEG: "video bit depth of this file is unsupported"

Hi Jeff, thanks!!
I guess one cannot import cannot import a CMYK image in Premiere at all.
When I inspected the image in Media Info it ID'd it as a YUV and so I assumed that the imagwe was converted for use in a video that they'd created sometime in the past.
Is there even such a format as YUV for still images? Probably not even though Media Info ID'd it as such.
Anyway, Photoshop ID'd it as CMYK and when converted to RGB that did the trick!
Thanks!

27" iMac (NON RETINA) video card configuration options!?

Hello,
Regarding the 27" iMac (NON RETINA) model, you have the option to upgrade to either the 2GB NVidia card or the 4GB NVidia card. I was wondering if the 4GB card is really necessary or if the 2GB card would be more than enough for my needs? I basically use a computer for normal/everyday tasks (such as E-Mail, web surfing, chat, webcaming, watching videos (which will include streaming/mirroring with Airplay to my HDTV), basic photo editing, occasional video editing (again basic personal/everyday types of editing) etc...
I am coming from a Windows world where every thing freezes up on me (I can't even use Facebook on my current Windows 8 machine without Facebook constantly freezing up on me) it's driving me insane! Granted I have a very cheap laptop right now so I'm sure most of the problems is related to the hardware but I don't want to have to deal with this if I move over to the Mac world so I want to make sure I get what I need.
I'm assuming a 4GB video card is perhaps overkill for me but wanted to make sure before I order.
Thanks!

Are you saying that for video watching (either local media or online streaming), airplay to Apple TV, personal video editing (home vids etc) that the video card does not improve performance, whether it's a integrated card, 512MB card, 1GB card, 2GB, card, etc? If so I never knew that lol, I always thought the larger the video ram was the better overall performance your display would provide.
So if I got the standard 1GB card with the 27" model, you are saying that would provide the same performance to me as if I upgraded the card to the 2GB or 4GB card? If so I feel really stupid right now...
I am, my 2011 27" iMac with a 512GPU supports Airplay and 2 AppleTV's perfectly!

Does iChat support JPEG video streaming

Dear Sir,
I would like to capture image and then encode to JPEG format and then send the JPEG file to iChat 15 times per second. Does iChat can display the JPEG file properly?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
sunshine_uyl

Ok,
Some more backing up and standing back from this.
I am still trying to interpret what it is exactly you are wishing to do.
If this "board" is something you want to use as a Camera source and it supplies or rather can supply stills of one form or another at 15fps then I don't think this is going to possible.
As one source iChat can use DV format in it's plainest form. (NOT DV or any proprietary versions)
As another iChat can since OS X 10.4.9 use the UVC driver to access USB 2.0 UVC compliant cameras
iChat has some support folders in the /System/Library and the Frameworks and PrivateFrameworks.
These control which video feeds it allows in a sort of "Native" form if you like.
This is through the CVPixelBuffer and the CVOpenGLBuffer (CV = Constant Video)
At least for iChat 4 in Leopard - I am having difficulty in working out where they have moved things in iChat 5/Snow Leopard)
Certain USB 1.1 Cameras that have Mac Drivers Installed on the Mac still need a third Party utility (iUSBCam) to convert the video from that camera into something iChat can use.
Mostly these were VGA output (See Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcam#Technology)
Certain IM apps such as Yahoo for Mac use a web cam but provide a collection of rapid Stills much like you talk about to give the appearance of movement.
There are certain apps that can do the same and Stream those as a Live feed to a web site. See Evocam or Security Spy
On the other hand can iChat deal with jpegs or in fact any Still format the answer is yes.
In iChat 4 and higher there is iChat Theatre and iPhoto Share.
iPhoto Share can play a Slide Show of anything in a collection/Slide show that has been set up in iPhoto (best to turn Music Off in my book).
As this could be a folder within iPhoto I toyed with the idea of getting new pics into iPhoto fast enough to display in s Slide show but have not checked what the fastest display a Slide show can manage but doubt it is 15 a sec.
iChat Theatre can be used to display the docs from other apps
For Instance it can play Movies. If you have Quicktime Add-on plug-ins to display a movie on your Mac than it can play almost anything. (Perian can play Dvix for instance along with others and Flip4Mac can play .avi files and other Windows formats).
It can also display the slides for Powerpoint or Keynote (Pays to change the Side Ratio to 4:3 or better still Square to fit the Chat Video Chat window).
I must admit to not having tried that many other apps but the same should apply in a lot of cases.
In both case your Video feed is replaced with a "Stream" of the App or file in question.
Next.
iChat can also do Backdrops in Video Chats on Intel macs.
The Backdrop can be a single Still or a Movie (you are asked to step out of the Frame so it can register the background where you sit and then replaces that with the Movie or Pic). You don't have to step back into view and it could then "Stream" that pic.
These are created by Quartz files splitting the Cameras Feed off from the background and adding either Filters for the Effects or Adding Pics or Movies for Backdrops.
These files are created with Quartz Composer (Installed with Developers Tools on Your Install Disk > Optional Installs).
Whether Quartz Composer can be made to "See" the Input from the "board" I am not sure. (Image seems to be one Still Only and Video seems to be the Camera (I did not spend long looking at how the controls/source might be tweaked).
Thirdly.
I was discussing this with EZ Jim, a level 4 poster who hangs out mostly in the iSight Forum.
He was wondering if you meant getting the board to Chat with iChat like it was a Buddy (and then presumingly recording the Video chat, to get around the USB input constraint.
If the board was Internet able and could Interact with either a Jabber Server or the AIM Servers (run an AIM or Jabber client that was Video Capable) it would have to send data in the H264 Video format.
I don't think this is what you meant but I thought I would pose it for clarification.
Another possibility is a DV converter as a Standalone items between the board and the Mac.
I had one that had RCA, S-Video and Firewire inputs.
This would be an expensive option and depend on what outputs the board has physically
Summary.
Board as camera I don't think is likely unless it can produce DV Video
My 8 1/2 year old G4/1Ghz Dual Processor (Mirrored Door Tower) can handle an USB 2.0 UVC complaint camera.
It has handled DV input from a DV converter in the past.
It basically depends on the Pic size in this case (Aim for 640 X 480 pixels as a Max)
Boards as Means to Input a feed like other apps for iChat Theatre would depend somewhat on the working space or Doc that was created.
I would have to play around with a few more to find out what the limitation were.
(At this point I would imagine using a single file that was being updated 15 time a sec but have difficulty thinking that many processors would cope with that let alone access it at the same time as another app was updating it.)
I have a feeling iPhoto can not play a Slide Show with each pic being only 4 secs "long". It may also not cope with a folder that was having more pics added to it (Can't add Photos to Slide show on the fly as it were)
I do feel the Quartz Composer route may have merit.
Quartz Composer does allow Input from several sources an may be able to "see" the board directly over USB rather then importing a file.
In may well be able to Input a series of files which would mean the board having an App on the computer to save the files to then read.
This would require learning some new skills and take a while to set up.
Although getting Pic into iChat and sending them to 1 person in a video chat would inherently be more secure there may be other ways of getting a series of Pic as "video" feed on to a web page or other Broadcast method.
See EZ Jim's list http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html in the top left hand section and Nannycam at the bottom.
If the Board can Export in Streaming Flash then also see the items 9 through 12 in this section http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_othe
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
Essentially I don't think there is an Easy Way to do this.
